            This appears to be the issue. If I load hw_random and run rngd,
    then the pauses go away. I may have been confused about the keyboard
    -- I probably only typed a couple characters, which I guess wasn't
    enough input.

            Any idea why I wouldn't see this under 2.4? Perhaps something I
    missed moving from /etc/modules.conf to /etc/modprobe.conf? I didn't see
    anything about random in there, and /dev/hwrandom didn't even exist (I
    had to mknod it).

    Thanks,
            Aaron
